God in Freedom: Studies in the Relations Between Church and State

God in Freedom: Studies in the Relations Between Church and State is a book written by Luigi Luzzatti. This book explores the complex relationship between the church and the state, particularly in the context of modern society. Luzzatti argues that the two institutions should be separate, but not necessarily completely independent of each other. He emphasizes the importance of freedom in both the religious and political spheres, and discusses the ways in which the two can work together for the common good. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the relationship between church and state. Topics include the role of religion in public life, the relationship between church and state in different countries, and the challenges faced by both institutions in the modern world. Overall, God in Freedom offers a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of this important topic, and provides valuable insights for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and politics.1930. The work is thought to be the most valuable and comprehensive book heretofore published on the history of religious liberty. The erudition and versatility of the author are remarkable. He includes sketches of champions of religious liberty who lived in the Far East long before the beginning of the Christian era, and his narrative embraces the movements for the separation of church and state in our own day in France, Scotland, Wales and Geneva. Distinguished leaders in this cause who lived in India, Persia, China, Japan, and the Ottoman Empire are fully treated, as also early Church Fathers to say nothing of General Bolivar in Bolivia, and great exponents in Europe and the United States.
